i hooped till my muscles ached, my body tingled, and my skin was afire with the heat of it.....

and then i hooped some more

i hooped till i could feel rivlets of sweat run down my spine letting loose the poison inside me and bathing me in my own joy.....

and then i hooped some more

i hooped till i could feel it molding me with its steady rythem into who i want to be, each movement merging with the beat of my heart...

and then i hooped some more

i hooped till the world around me was silenced and lost inside my sacred circle

and then i hooped some more
